Richard Chartier and Yann Novak are two renowned sound artists in the electronic experimental music. Both work on the minimalist field and reductionist sound art.
Novak now lives in Los Angeles, before he did it in Seattle and as far as I know still run Dragon's Eye Recordings imprint. Chartier lives in Washington and is currently moving to another city. He run 3 Particles and the Line sublabel.
The way was raised this collaborative work was very particular. Without saying any concept, Chartier sent an unfinished piece to Novak, without further indication that he could add or take out whatever he wanted or a combination of both in order to complete the piece. Novak sent back the recording to Chartier for a approval or rejection of what he had done.
The result of this work is an imperceptible drone that is built with a few layers of sound that are intertwined. Some emit an acute and thin sound wave while others unfold to areas of greater breadth and hint at gentle soundscapes.
'Undefined' is disturbing and at the same time invites the listener to a deep listening.www.farmacia901.com, www.3particles.com y www.yannnovak.com
